auSStin Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Hey there folks. Just sold my '96 DCM Impala SS a little while ago which made me pretty sad, so I figured I'd clone a regular cab '06 Silverado to fill the void. On average, how much does it cost to clone? Motor included? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any feedback. -auSStin Edited February 18, 2016 by auSStin (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03SSBoy Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 All depends on the price you buy things ive seen cladding go for $500 to $1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auSStin Posted February 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the feedback. Are you able to provide an estimate from cheap to expensive? I did some quick searching and couldn't seem to find much info on the cost of cloning.

elijah Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks for the feedback. Are you able to provide an estimate from cheap to expensive? I did some quick searching and couldn't seem to find much info on the cost of cloning. Because there is no estimate, it all depends on the availability on parts. You guys come in asking the same question on price but there is no straight up answer. My best advise is search on Craigslist all over (don't just stick to your area) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elijah Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 $1000 for cladding (without brackets) $200 (a piece) for oe bumper covers $600-700 for a set of rims (with shit tires) $400-600 for a pair of seats (without the console) This is just a guestimate from what I've seen online recently.

elijah Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 Take into consideration also you will most likely have a lot of body/paint work to do as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 We don't like your kind round hurr. Why's dat? He's a car/truck guy. I got no problem. He ain't doing anything that hasn't been applauded around here for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldofashow Posted February 18, 2016 Report Share Posted February 18, 2016 As long as he is buying the parts and not stealing one of our trucks to get the parts I don't care what he builds but he better post pictures so we can watch the build.

1BAD2K Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 The question is how much are you looking to spend? Lol. I have a truck with a whole bunch of nice parts that I would sell. 2006 clone with all wheel drive, Ls6 supercharged motor, front and rear big brake kit and all oem SS parts and some billet intro wheels. Shoot me a pm if you are interested bc I am getting a hinkering for a 69 Camaro again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSmoothSilSS Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 One other aspect of the cost is paying the shipping for all the part, its not cheap, unless you find a local wrecked SS that you can use all the parts for your clone, most guys have to piece meal there clone together with buying parts all across the States. And if you buy all your parts and they are in mint shape your going to pay the high price for them. The other cost comes with if you do all your own work, paying to do a motor swap, painting/ suspension is not cheap. I bought parts in bundles from guys on here, ship to me and I've gone an installed and replaced some parts with the mint piece, so I a have about 70% to clone another truck if I want when I get done with this one, I just need to buy another truck. So the cheapest way I would say is to buy the truck with no rust or mechanical issues, and look in your area at the auctions for a wrecked SS, some can be a theft recovery with no damage but most of them are missing all the good parts.They don't come around to often. And do the work yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
